>>57215346Your Swellow not have the Guts ability? Because they introduced abilities in Gen 3 and Game Freak told the anime "you need to show pokémon abilities now, they're part of our world" which is why that retarded shit was even considered in the first place as they couldn't figure out how to portray Guts properly.
But that's why you're dragging up examples from fully 22 years ago - you can't actually use any more modern examples, because it started following the game universe even fucking harder as time went on and Game Freak exerted MORE influence on their bitchboys.
Almost as if Game Freak have their series under them and all singing off their songsheet, instead of crowd-sourcing opinions of third worlders raised by the brand to be a drone.
